Former Arsenal footballer Julio Baptista has expressed his belief that Brazilian star Neymar could be the missing piece to restore the team’s former glory and take them back to the top of the Premier League. Baptista believes that it may be the right time for Neymar to seek a new challenge away from PSG, especially with the departures of Lionel Messi and the possible departure of Kylian Mbappe.
Baptista emphasizes that Neymar needs a supportive and appreciative environment to bring out the best in him, something he believes PSG doesn’t offer. North London could be the perfect destination for the world’s most expensive player, where Arsenal, under the guidance of coach Mikel Arteta, are undergoing a transformation to regain their competitiveness.
The former goalkeeper acknowledges that Arsenal have faced challenging times over the last eight years, but sees promising signs of progress under Arteta’s leadership. He sees Neymar as the key to unlocking Arsenal’s full potential, especially with the presence of fellow Brazilians Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhaes and Marquinhos at the club.
Arsenal fans would undoubtedly be thrilled to see Neymar don the red and white, as his talent and ability on the pitch could inject new life into the team’s attacking capabilities. With the right support and a cohesive team, Baptista believes that Neymar could lead Arsenal to compete at the highest level and potentially lift the Premier League trophy once again.
Although Neymar’s future remains uncertain, Baptista’s endorsement of Arsenal as the next chapter in the Brazilian’s career could leave the soccer world agog and eager for what could be a revolutionary transfer on the soccer scene.
